About Girard Bengali, APC

Girard Bengali is a dedicated securities and employment litigation firm in Los Angeles that fights for underdogs in complex disputes. The firm's reputation for excellence in the securities industry is unmatched, as they are among a select number of firms nationwide that handle all aspects of securities law issues, including representing investors, customers of securities firms, financial professionals and individuals who have suffered financial harm. Their three core areas include brokerage firm misconduct and elder financial abuse, financial professional employment disputes, and FINRA, SEC and other regulatory agency investigations and disciplinary actions.

The Challenge

Girard Bengali needed content in securities litigation that educates potential clients about complex financial violations and regulatory issues.

I serve as the ghostwriter for SEO-optimized thought leadership content that positions Girard Bengali as the authoritative voice on securities violations, broker misconduct, and fraud. The content strategy balances legal expertise with educational value, creating articles that explain complex regulatory concepts while showcasing the firm's deep understanding of FINRA, SEC, and other regulatory frameworks. I develop content that addresses each of their core practice areas while maintaining consistent messaging about their commitment to fighting for individuals against powerful financial institutions.
